Hello and welcome to the back nine of round two of the 2025 Throw Pink Women's Disc Golf Championships presented by Innova. Our XA tier one of one, nothing else like it.

Um some players will even lay up twice before they go across to the green. Um it's tough. >> There's a little more room there than you think, but it does feel very small from the tee and the more left you land with these hyzers, the more difficult it is to go across on your second. We had a screaming headwind on this shot. I heard the North Carolinians have found out about this acorn spot and have started illegally dumping as well. I would not be surprised.
